■Types  of  collisions  that  may  not  deploy  the  SRS  airbags  (SRS  fr ont  air-
bags)
The  SRS  front  airbags  do  not  generally  inflate  if  the  vehicle  i s  involved  in  a
side  or  rear  collision,  if  it  rolls  over,  or  if  it  is  involved  in  a  low-speed  frontal
collision.  But,  whenever  a  collision  of  any  type  causes  suffici ent  forward
deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front airbag s may occur.
■ Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags 
(SRS side and curtain shield airbags)
The  SRS  side  and  curtain  shield  airbags  may  not  activate  if  the   vehicle  is
subjected  to  a  collision  from  the  side  at  certain  angles,  or  a  collision  to  the
side of the vehicle body other than the passenger compartment.
The  SRS  side  airbags  do  not  generally  inflate  if  the  vehicle  is   involved  in  a
rear  collision,  if  it  rolls  over,  or  if  it  is  involved  in  a  low -speed  side  or  low-
speed frontal collision. ● Collision from the side
● Collision from the rear
● Vehicle rollover
● Collision  from  the  side  to  the  vehicle
body other than the passenger compart-
ment
● Collision from the side at an angle
● Collision from the rear
● Vehicle rollover

*1: The  system  judges  a  person  of  adult  size  as  an  adult.  When  a  smaller
adult sits in the front passenger seat, the system may recognize him/her
as a child depending on his/her physique and posture.
*2: In the event the front passenger is wearing a seat belt.
*3: In the event the front passenger does not wear a seat belt.
*4: When a larger child who has outgrown a child restraint system sits in the front  passenger  seat,  the  system  may  recognize  him/her  as  an  adult
depending on his/her physique or posture.
*5: Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passengerseat. A forward-facing child restraint system should only be installed on
the front passenger seat when it is unavoidable. ( P. 54)
*6: In case the indicator light is not illuminated, consult this m anual on how
to install the child restraint system properly. ( P. 58)
*7: In the event of a frontal collision or rollover.
*8: In the event of a side collision.
WARNING
■Front passenger occupant classification system precautions
Observe  the  following  precautions  regarding  the  front  passenger  occupant
classification system. 
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
● Wear the seat belt properly.
● Make sure the front passenger’s seat belt plate has not been le ft inserted
into the buckle before someone sits in the front passenger seat.
● Make sure the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is not illuminated when using
the seat belt extender for the front passenger seat. If the “AI R BAG OFF”
indicator light is illuminated, disconnect the extender tongue from the seat
belt buckle, and reconnect the seat belt. Reconnect the seat belt extender
after  making  sure  the  “AIR  BAG  ON”  indicator  light  is  illuminated.  If  you
use the seat belt extender while the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is illumi-
nated,  the  SRS  airbags  for  the  front  passenger  will  not  activate,  which
could cause death or serious injury in the event of a collision.
● Do  not apply a heavy  load to the front passenger seat or equipment (e.g.
seatback pockets).
● Vehicles with rear seats: Do not put weight on the front passenger seat by
putting  your  hands  or  feet  on  the  front  passenger  seat  seatback   from  the
rear passenger seat.
● Vehicles with rear seats: Do not let a rear passenger lift the  front passen-
ger seat with their feet or press on the seatback with their le gs.
● Do not put objects under the front passenger seat.

Safety information for children
●Vehicles  with  rear  seats:  It  is  recommended  that  children  sit  i n  the
rear  seats  to  avoid  accidental  co ntact  with  the  shift  lever,  wiper
switch, etc.
● Use the rear door child-protector lock (Double Cab models only)  or
the  window  lock  switch  to  avoid  children  opening  the  door  while
driving or operating the power window accidentally.
● Do  not  let  small  children  operate  equipment  which  may  catch  or
pinch body parts, such as the power window, hood, tailgate, sea ts,
etc.
Observe the following precautions when children are in the vehi -
cle.
Use  a  child  restraint  system  appropriate  for  the  child,  until  the
child becomes  large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat
belt.
WARNING
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to
have or use the key.
Children  may  be  able  to  start  the  vehicle  or  shift  the  vehicle  into  neutral.
There is also a  danger that  children  may  injure  themselves  by playing with
the windows, the moon roof or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat
build-up  or  extremely  cold  temperatures  inside  the  vehicle  can  be  fatal  to
children.

Child  restraint  systems  are  classified  into  the  following  3  types
according to the age a nd size of the child:
■Selecting an appropriate child restraint system
●Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until th e child becomes
large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
● If the child is too large for a child restraint system, sit the  child on a rear seat
and use the vehicle’s seat belt. ( P. 30)

WARNING
■Child restraint precautions
● Do  not  use  the  seat  belt  extender  when  installing  a  child  restr aint  system
on  the  front  or  rear  passenger  seat.  If  installing  a  child  restraint  system
with the seat belt extender connected to the seat belt, the seat belt will not
securely  hold  the  child  restraint  system,  which  could  cause  dea th  or  seri-
ous injury to the child or other passengers in the event of an accident.
● Do  not  allow  the  child  to  lean  his/her  head  or  any  part  of  his/her  body
against  the  door  or  the  area  of  the  seat,  front  and  rear  pillar s  or  roof  side
rails from which the SRS side airbags or SRS curtain shield airbags deploy
even  if  the  child  is  seated  in  the  child  restraint  system.  It  is  dangerous  if
the  SRS  side  airbags  and  curtain  shield  airbags  inflate,  and  th e  impact
could cause death or serious injury to the child.
● Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by
the child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If
it is not secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the child
in the event of a sudden stop or an accident.
■ When children are in the vehicle
Do  not  allow  children  to  play  with  the  seat  belt.  If  the  seat  belt  becomes
twisted around a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries
that could result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used
to cut the belt.
■ When the child restraint system is not in use
● Keep  the  child  restraint  system  properly  secured  on  the  seat  even  if  it  is
not  in  use.  Do  not  store  the  child  restraint  system  unsecured  in  the  pas-
senger compartment.
● If  it  is  necessary  to  detach  the  child  restraint  system,  remove   it  from  the
vehicle. This will prevent it from injuring passengers in the event of a sud-
den stop or an accident.
